MINISTER'S ANSWER QUESTIONS.
Minister Brown answered Rep. Ka-
mauoha's questions about Liwai and
Moses, that petitions had been pre-
scented to the House by these men,
acted on, and referred to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs. They were shipped
for two years, and discharged when
the AaImilod was put out Of commits
sion. Men of other nationalitieS APP
pealed TO their COnsulS, and it was
found that, by the rules of the United
States and British navies, men dis
charged summarily in foreign coun-
tries drew three months advance pay.
One of the men here referred to never
performed days work from the day
he left until he returned, and, more
over, the Government paid substi-
tute for him.
Minister Ashford answered Rep Ha-
laukOa'S questions to the following eff
feet: o. The deputy of his department
had been in bad health since August;
there was about that time 4 heavy
rush of business in the Attorney Gen
erals department, drawing up regula-
tions for the election, drafting meas
ures in anticipation of this legislative
session, besides a large number of
criminal cases; o. he had paid Mr.
Castle q bill OF S25 for services in the
Police Court 81 had his receipt for the
same; 4 had a bill of AIessrs. Smith
x Kinney for SI25, two prosecutions.

ment was exhausted.

BILL Passed.
Consideration OF the military bills.
The House went into Committee Of
the Whole on the military bills.
The AttOrney-General stated that
the committee TO whomt he two Origi-
nal bills were referred, had recognized
and expressed the desirability of MAIN
tanning volunteer military OrganiZa-
ton in this city. And although not
expressly so stated by them, it may be
fairly inferred as part of their recon-
mendation, that a part, at least, of
this organization should consist of
foreigners. He would state, merely
for the information of the House, as he
did not intend to take 4 prominent
part in the discussion of the bill, that
if the bill introduced by Noble Water
house is tabled, and if the House fails
To embOdy IN its legislation at this
time the salient features of that bill,
there will be no white military Organi-
cation in this city Mt the end of the
present week.
After several motions and amend
ments and some debate on the proper
mode of procedure,

tee OF the Whole rise and recommend
